Bonjour,

Thank you for these useful suggestions, I will be sure to share my experience with a video  ;D

About a pulley, I have none but I hope I will be able to use my little drill, especially if I can use the Mirocosm tips I already have.

Let's wait and see...

Bonjour,

Great news ! Thanks to Jon  ;) who gave me the email address of Mona, I have been able to order one and furthermore with a reduction code !

And better, I am allowed to share it with the members of this forum, this code is... "RAPHAEL"  ;D

I will be happy to share with you this new experience in a video as soon as I receive it, quickly I hope.

Hello, can you specify just what online store the code is good for? Thank you!

Bonjour,
At the payment level, the system asked me if I had a reduction code, I put "RAPHAEL" and got 10 % off without any additional shipping cost to France.
And, as I evoked this forum as source of my request, it is available on all the site for the members of this forum even if I did not tested it after my purchase ;D

Thank You.

So glad you found an engine without heavy payment for shipping to France.

My engine is coming from Aliexpress and I checked in on my order today (not yet shipped)....there is a notice on Aliexpress that the Chinese New Year celebrations will begin on Jan 31 and go for some time and to expect delays of more than a week added to standard shipping times.

Bonjour,

On my side, I have received a message from StirlingKit that my order is confirmed and that it would be shipped by Yun Express.

We will see if Yun is faster than Ali  ;D

I read on one of the Stirlingkit/enginediy fb pages that their entire operation would be closed for the holiday for two weeks starting now.  The manufacturing and distribution ends combined are several hundred people who are aching to go home, many for the first time since Covid.  I’ve got one paid for and not shipped yet myself…..

Bonjour,
Mine has left China yesterday and the Yun tracking number I was given is no longer available, quite useful to follow it now  >:(

Hello, Raphael.   I expect it will arrive in due course, perhaps before we mow grass again, har!

I received a notice from Stirlingkit saying they will be back on February 7th after the Chinese New Year.  Their site still seems to be accepting orders during the holiday.

Bonjour,

Great news, my package is already arrived, about only 3 weeks after my order  ;)

Here it is, as received without any visible issue, a good compression at this moment and already two questions:

As I hope you can see it at 1'58", the push rod connected to the regulator shows a gap of about 3 mm with the exhaust valve, is it normal, too much (I can set it normaly)? what spacing would you recommend ?

How much should I open the carburator needle valve ?

And a little concern, no user guide, even if the previous videos has helped me to understand all the connections.
Never mind, I can't wait to test it!

For an exhaust valve .004" (.10 mm) should work.

You got lucky.  Your package shipped before holiday for workers in China. 

As to the exhaust valve, so long as the valve fully closes with slight clearance when not opened, about 0.5 to 1.0 mm should be ok.   See that the rocker doesn’t get tight when hot.

Bonjour,
First test...
I use SP98 gasoline with a drop of 2-stroke oil like all my other Hit & Miss engines, I have a nice spark at the plug and normal compression, yet I can't get the slightest backfire. .. Needle adjustment of the tiny carburettor is hellish and the lack of a launch system makes the job even more difficult. To be continued...
If you have one, how does it start ? how opened is the needle opened ?
